C++ and ruby integration

[Fear]

Can someone help me integrating C++ source codes with ruby source codes in Dev-C++? I've looked for dev-paks, tutorials, but nothing was useful. If someone have a dev-pak or know how to do it, please post it HERE!

Oy vey, now that is a task in a half. I have chills just thinking about it.. but it can be done. I don't think I've ever been able to integrate C++ and Ruby fully, or maybe I'm just a noob.

SWIG is going to be your best bet:

http://www.swig.org/

SWIG would probably be your best bet for anything that wasn't specifically written as an embeddable scripting language. Perl, Python, Ruby, and that bunch.

Dude I wanted to be the SWIG advocate on this one.

But seriously SWIG is pretty kick ass. I haven't used Dev C++ in ages so I can't remember how to set it up, probably similar to Code::Blocks

M_D_K is the guy to talk to about SWIG. I admit to never actually using it before...

I guess

this should get you started:

• Code::blocks and SWIG some stuff in there that ain't IDE specific
• SWIG just grab the source
• Ruby I think they have prebuilt

It doesn't look like there is a SWIG devpak or a ruby one either so just build the ruby library and SWIG and drop them in the right folders inside the DevCpp folder.

Thanks GyroVorbis! It's really useful! and thanks M_D_K and Andy K. for the support
